DNP-840-Topic 2 DPI Project Budge

Creating a budget for your project is an essential and often under estimated core skill. Learners often do not see the hidden costs of their DPI Project and later find the organization must incur unexpected expense, which creates unintended barriers to completion of the project.

During this exercise, you will create a budget with senior leaders as the intended audience, and this budget will be embedded in your final DPI Project manuscript. Some considerations include the use of historical data, average salary for job codes, leveraging experts in your organization, and gathering data around supply cost and usage.
